Something to Knit Together
by Arnall-Culliford Knitwear
Many of us have been feeling isolated during
the Covid-19 lockdown, and missing the
companionship of our knitting friends. In
answer to this, the A-C Knitwear team has
developed a truly interactive e-book that is
accompanied by knit-alongs, online knit and
chat sessions, and new patterns delivered to
participants regularly from July to September.
Something to Knit Together contains lace
patterns designed by Sarah Hatton: a large
rectangular wrap, a cable and lace hat,a raglan cardigan, and one more ‘mystery’
project which will be revealed in the coming
weeks. As we’d expect from A-C Knitwear,
the projects all feature interesting techniques
and constructions for knitters to try,
accompanied by video tutorials.
Participants can join in with project chat
and share photos of their progress and
finished knits over on the A-C Knitwear
Ravelry group at https://bit.ly/ACtogether.
